Baseball Coaching Tips Young athletes are leaving the sports’ scene every day because coaches fail to motivate them. Furthermore, fewer and fewer youth sporting games occur without some sort of unfortunate scene occurring. Here’s why - coaches are not trained to deal with the modern athlete and parent. Most people get into youth sports coaching and soon begin to wonder why they volunteered and how to proceed. Long time youth coach and former major league player Jack Perconte became tired of hearing this, “His/her coach is an idiot,” so he wrote Creating a Season to Remember: The New Youth Sports Coaching Leadership Handbook for all the well-meaning people who want to be the role model they set out to be.
